Ray was my "Maternal "1st cousin. He was actual there when I was born and told me the details of my birth in Henning Tennesee.Today we receive a message his older Brother has died on this Monday May 10, 2021. This is challenging for me. My sister and I are the only two of full blood heritage that are left on his mother side . I give great love to his young sister Arnetha who now is the only one left to carry the banner. May God give all of us the strength and courage to carry on. I also want to say that Ray's wife has been in my life since I was 10 years old and now I am a woman in her
Sixties! Amen, She truly loved her husband and was a blessing to our family. Miss you cuz!!

To Sleadie Ingram and family;
As the days pass and everyone and everything returns to normal, be comforted in the fact that he is with the Lord. I know my mom, Lula, wanted very much to be there with you but was unable to, however, she was there in spirit. You and Mr. Ingram have been a special part of my family's lives for years and know that we hurt deeply with you. The bible says he that finds a wife finds a good thing and finds favor with the Lord. Ms. Sleadie, he found favor with the Lord because he loved you like Christ loved the church. Be comforted in these days to come of the love you shared with one another. Please let us know if you need anything whatsoever; we will be glad to help you and your family.

Love you always,
Cynthia Renea Mitchell

Dear Ray
Saying good-bye is very hard for us to do
For no one knew how much We loved you
The call was sudden, the shock severe
We never knew that was death was so near
So sweet one take your well deserved rest
For you were truly one of the best

Love your Sister and Brothers
Sonny, Nita and Sam (nothing but death can separate us)
